Just Cally and I!

This has been a very interesting last couple of months for my babies.  There has been a lot of growth in each child that I've seen.  I try to embrace changes but I'm sad.  For the last year Callum has been my constant companion being the only child to attend school half days.  That is changing really soon.  Right now the kids are all home half days but next year they will all be in school full time.

It started at first as a pain.  When Miriam got hired by our company full time Callum was supposed to be an all day puppy, Rachel was supposed to do DDPre in the morning and be an afternoon puppy.  Harmon of course was full day roadrunner for his kindergarten year.  Rachel and Harm did great but Cally was very unhappy.  I kept thinking he would get used to it but after a month I felt very prompted that I needed to take him out and have him continue only going to school half day.

At first I felt like this was going to be a total thorn in my side.  I was so excited to have time for focusing on my work.  How wrong I was!  He has never been in my way.  He is very patient and well behaved.  He loved spending time sitting next to me cuddling while I worked watching Scooby Doo.  He called himself my cuddle bug.  When I needed to go to the university he sat patiently and waited with me.  He would remind me not to get too intense because you need to take play breaks and snack breaks.  It was like having an angel with me.

Now next year is coming and my angel is growing up.  Instead of happiness for all this new time I'm sad. I will miss him so much.
